When you start the book, there seems to be only a couple people that could have had anything to do with the mystery, but the more backstories you read about, the more people you start to question. They added humor, while also providing some back story that helped add to the mystery. I feel like the side stories served a purpose. Most of the time, I want the main story, and get frustrated by the fact that the story keeps getting off track, but not this time. I also really enjoyed the little side stories about the characters. There were so many possible scenarios going on, that the number of suspects was continually growing, and answers came from an unexpected source. When the answer to a mystery is obvious early on in a book, it is hard to find the desire to read it until the end.

I really was not expecting the ending, which made it a fun read. Along the way, a humorous cast of characters is introduced and the truth about what really happened is slowly revealed. He doesn’t believe the official story, and is determined to find out what really happened. When one of the scientists die under mysterious circumstances, twelve-year-old Dash is convinced that something is up. Space Case is a futuristic book following a group of families that live on the moon. I really liked the play on words, so good job Stuart Gibbs. I think I read this book mostly because of the title.
